The sea has long been a source of inspiration for song, for poetry, or folklore. We gaze into, across or beyond the depths and are often give moment: to reflect what we see.

The ocean’s creatures, particularly the whale also (nudge) our creativity. Artists and especially photographers await the right moment to capture on canvas or film, the impressive displays of the ocean’s acrobats – The humpback whale.

We at the PMMC have enjoyed hearing the stories of
those who are excited to share their “moments” on the sea, among the whales. This web page is offered to those who wish to share their moment.

"As the whale is great, so to cherish it
can be proof of our greatness.

Meanwhile, and for a little longer, the great whale
glides through the sea, feeling its vibrations and
reading its meaning by senses it has gained
through eons of time. Had the whale been created
only to deepen our sense of wonder, that were enough,
for it is imagination that makes us human."
